I’ve tried the obvious path (google keyword + eve forums) but that didn’t work, in a horrible way: I got a lot of results on the keyword, and then the front page of current eve forums… but no trace of the old forums.

EvE-search is tuned to the current Discourshit abomination and the old forums are read-only and not searchable.

So, is there any solution?

You’re lucky if you saw anything at all. The Google results quickly decayed, and only the most popular hits are cached.

[https://eve-search.com/](https://eve-search.com/) should still be going to the old forums that were closed in 2017.

there’s an eve-search for the current ones ?

Current forums are: [forums.eveonline.com](http://forums.eveonline.com)  
Previous forums are: [forums-archive.eveonline.com](http://forums-archive.eveonline.com)  
Pre-2011 forums are: [oldforums.eveonline.com](http://oldforums.eveonline.com)

You should be able to preface that in the Google search box, for example `oldforums.eveonline.com: my raven was equipped with the following`
